Samenvatting	Differential metabolomics analysis is a computational pipeline that identifies metabolites whose abundance levels differ significantly between two or more biological conditions — such as disease versus control, treated versus untreated, or different developmental stages. By integrating mass spectrometry or NMR data with statistical modelling and pathway databases, it translates raw spectral measurements into biologically interpretable lists of perturbed metabolic features and the pathways they implicate.	Multi-omics metabolomics analysis integrates metabolite profiling data — derived from mass spectrometry or NMR spectroscopy — with genomic, transcriptomic, and/or proteomic datasets to build a system-level view of biological phenotypes. By anchoring integration on the metabolome, which reflects the downstream functional output of gene expression and protein activity, this approach connects upstream molecular variation to observable biochemical states, enabling richer mechanistic insight than any single omics layer alone.
